Let's just say that it wasn't my most productive month, with work trips to: Tokyo, London & San Diego, as well as family weekend in Boulder.
Financial:
- Max 401k for the year - yes, done!
- Check in on 529 contributions & max - I've figured out my account & have put in $1k, but can't figure out how to get the match. More to do here, I guess.
- Meal plan & use up 3 freezer/pantry items - I used up buns & tater tots from the freezer, and pickles from the pantry
Family:
- Enjoy family weekend with Nick - we had an amazing time, despite travel snafus
- Start cleaning out the closet of "things" leftover when Nick moved out - yes, lots of good progress here.
- Help Sam with the start of fall classes - yes, this is going really well, and he's enjoying school, work & the rock climbing gym he joined.
- One date night with M - we've had several really lovely evenings with a glass of wine by the pool
Fitness - this is where things get really dicey & the wheels really fell off the bus!
- Lose 2 lbs - definitely not. Gained another pound.
- Get back to regular fitness check-ins - didn't happen this month
- 15 & 15 - strength training & no S days - 6/15, & 4/15
- Half marathon training plan - barely worked out, minimal running
- Stay on track on trips (Boulder + London) - I felt sick & miserable leading up to Boulder, and worked 12-14 hour days in London, so definitely not on track
- Average 12,000 steps/day. - Not only is my watch not lasting a full day on a charge, my steps have been sad. 10,280/day
Personal:
- Get together with friends x2 - a dinner party and two hikes + got to see my BFF in Colorado
- Finish planning November concert trip - largely done
- Say yes to adventure & trying new things - plenty of September adventure. Tube riding, trains in Tokyo & London, etc. I've also been working hard at learning a few new things at work.
- Continue to explore work/life balance - this was certainly not the month for that
- Declutter 50 items - 29/50, most of which came from Nick's move out pile
- Work on travel planning & budgets - no further plans made, or budgets reviewed
What about you? How did you do with our September Goals?
